LOUIS WIRSCHING, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

VETERINARY-SURGEONS TOOL.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Louis VVnzsoHrNo, a citizen of the United States, and residing at New York, in the county of New York and. State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Veterinary-Surgeons Tools, of which the following a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to tools or instruments designed for use by veterinary surgoons in filling the teeth of a horse, and the object thereof is to provide an improved device of this class which is simple in construction and convenient of manipulation and use, and with this and other objects in view, the invention consists in a device of the class specified, constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 is a back view of my improved tool or instrument ;Fig. 2 a side view thereof and on an enlarged scale, and showing or indicating different positions of the head of the tool ;Fig. 3 a partial section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1 ,'Fig. 4 a section on the line 44 of Fig. 2, and ;F ig. 5 a side view of a detail of the construction detached.

In the practice of my invention, I provide a tool or instrument of the class speciiied comprising a head a and handle 6, constructed and connected as follows.

The head a is in the form of an oblong block, and comprises a back a having side members a provided with inwardly directed flanges a adapted to receive and hold a file a which may be inserted into the head a from either end, and may be secured therein by set screws 0 passed through the back o The end of the head a with which the handle 6 is connected, is provided with a raised stud or shoulder a having a recess a Specification of Letters Patent.

in the top portion of which is pivoted, as

6. adapted to be screwed onto the threaded portion g of the sleeve 9, and said end of the handle is also provided with a longitudinal bore Z2 into which the pin 6 is adapted to be screwed, and in practice, the pin 6 is passed through the sleeve 9 before said pin and sleeve are secured to the head a. The pin 0 is longer than the sleeve 9 and extends therethrough a predetermined distance, and after the sleeve 9 and pin 6 have been secured to the handle 5, the parts 0 and g are secured to the head a. This operation permanently connects the head and handle of the tool, and by means thereof, the head a may be adjusted into different positions with relation to the handle, or at an angle thereto, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2. With the parts in the position shown in Fig. 3, by holding the head stationary and turning the handle to the left, said head will be thrown into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2', and this adjustment of the head a facilitates the use of the tool or instrument and renders the same more practical for general purposes.

The general form of the head with the file secured therein is old, and forms no part of the invention, which is limited to the method of, or means for connecting the handle with the head.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A tool of the class described comprising a head and a handle, the head being provided in the end thereof adjacent to the handle with a recess, a threaded pin pivoted in said recess, a threaded sleeve through which said pin is passed, said sleeve being as my invention 1 have signed my name in provided with a shank pivoted in said represence of the subscribing Witnesses this 10 cess, and the end oat the handle being pro- 23rd day of December, 1913. vided with a threa ed sleeve ada ted to be 5 screwed onto the sleeve through Evhich the LOUIS VIRSCHING' pin is passed, and a central threaded bore Vitncsses: adapted to receive the threaded pin.
